It assumes that actions result from conscious choices among alternatives and employee exertion will lead to great performance and performance, in turn, leads to incentives. Moreover, the theory is based upon the following three beliefs: Valence, Expectancy and Instrumentality which work together psychologically to create a motivational force such that the employee acts in ways to convey contentment and steer clear of twinge.
